Why are we here? I have lost faith in social media and the only reason I'm here is 4chan was a cancer and to me all the brains came to canvas. I can bitch on twitter and get "defriended" on facebook. but when I'm wasted this is the pinnacle of life.

Canv.as sometimes encourages me to draw, and doesn't care whether it's a good or bad drawing day, which is something i think is probably good for me.
4chan is filled to about the 78% line with foul shit, and mostly just seems to feed the worst aspects of a human's personality. Facebook is something i visit for a few minutes 2 or 3 times a month, usually when i'm too drunk to draw and want to do something other than watch a movie, and say hi to a few people i only ever talk to through facebook comments and PMs.
Apart from canv.as i still spend most of my online time on tech-related message boards and reading blogs...being fairly anti-social, i feel social media is kind of annoying =o)× -

@Rev_Kev: I figured since I already got the sweet tattoo. I should probably stick around.

@Rev_Kev: To be honest I didn't feel really attached to drawing or art in general until I started visiting canvas and newgrounds. DeviantArt didn't really encourage me to draw or be a better artist and 4chan was kind of "Bipolar" and both were full of hate, trolls and such. Newgrounds kind of made me start drawing more often and had a really well made art community, but Canv.as really makes me want to be better and have fun while doing it. Also I see that here in canvas there is a lot of inteligent and funny people who contribute with the site. thank you guys and thanks canvas ;)

Sorry, no sad story here. I like creating stuff, but I"m also a lazy piece of shit. I would love to have my own webcomic and dump my stupid crap there, but creating your own website requires so much... work. I really have better things to do, like sitting on my ass whole day long. Here, have a funny gif. No need to thank me.

I really like to be heard on the internet. If the community's too big (Reddit) I feel like I'm not being recognized. If the community's too small, it feels slow.
Canvas seems like it's just the right size. I feel popular around these parts. That's the greatest gift a community can give me.
Thank you, Canvas.× -

I come here because i like to piss off the staff (yes, i think that the rules of canvas are incredibely stricts and close to puritanism), because it's fun sometimes, but also because i'm not interesed / hate other networks (excepting 4chan (i came here because of moot's commercials), canvas (obviously) and some other gaming communities).
To be honest, i don't really know what i'm doing here, given that : - I can't draw
- I use things from the internet and mix them with other stuff, or slightly remix them (creating little to no original content)
PS : If there's a mod around, i'd like to say PISS SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCKING BITCH ASS× -
The whole reason I still visit canv.as is because I really like the users here. Everyone is pretty nice to each other and I like that the other canvasaurs encourage creativity and original content. Most communities seem to discourage it. That and I'm addicted to the stickers and drawing challenges on this site. :3

@Rev_Kev: I got here through the Drawcast stream. I had only heard of 4chan but didn't want to be part of it and it's really hard to get noticed on deviantart. On canv.as I got a lot of positive feedback on my drawings, encouraging me to draw more. By drawing regularly I also became better at it and after I joined drawfriends I got to know a lot of new friends. I fear I might lose a lot of them now more people are leaving canv.as. But I know I will never forget most of them.

@wardrich: Your post made me think a lot, maybe I came across this website way too late, I couldn't experience what sounds as "the golden age of canvas". Is the situation THAT bad? I feel like I've totally missed the good times...
Too many feels -

(srry in advance for wall of text)
i came here cuz my bf told me about it (he posted only anon and left when update happened)
i got addicted to the stickers pretty much within a week
also the drawing challenges
over time i got to kno the community better and i was really impressed at the variety of users and the general friendliness toward eachother.
its really awesome to be able to collaborate with ppl who arent all necessarily artists (as it is on other art sites like da).
imo what sets canv.as apart is that the users are more concerned with fun and being creative than seeing technical ability and building a fanbase.
this is y drawfriends is so fucking awesome and also the reason i do request threads exclusively on canv.as (id rather not get 30+ requests of pretty much only sonic ocs)
ive been on deviantart for 8 years (since i was about 16) and while there are a bunch of talented artists to follow i have never felt like i had a place within the community (ppl there get butthurt pretty easily...)
i have a tumblr too, but the userbase annoys me the same as da (its all very exclusive and clicky)...
at least i quit facebook tho cuz srsly fuck facebook (studies show it legit makes ppl upset when using it)
anyway canv.as 4 life u guys are awesome
((still no computer so i made a shitty trackpad drawing to show im still thinking of u guys))×
